hello everyone, i got banded on april 3rd and im on liquids but i seem to be hungry all the time. is this normal? any advice? thanks

Yes it's totally normal because you're just on liquids.

It's rough during the post op diet but it's important you stick to it so you give your stomach time to heal.

Best wishes.

Ino its tough but hang in there drink lots of water eat thoes sugar free popsicles, .. wish u the best;)

Sip Water as often as you can, make sure you have a good amount of Protein in your shakes. Jello is good too. I have two more days until puréed its tough but I have lost a total of 16.2 lbs and that keeps me going. Don't give up you got this!!!!!

Yes very normal!! It's really hard but it gets better i promise. I soo wasn't prepared to be that hungry but I made it through. Hang in there it's gonna get better.

thanks everyone for ur support! i went to my post op appt today and got my staples out. get my first fill in 4 weeks

We were banded the same day:-) I had my staples out yesterday! I went through a few days of wanting to eat felt starving but it did pass...I followed very closely water ice chips crystal light was all I basically had first 5 days then went to shakes up until now I am only able to get 1 full shake down a day I'm sure it's not enough protein though! Stay motivated!! I lost 22.5 pounds at my first appt...how about you? (My starting weight was 246)
